how much do Hair Extension cost?
For first-time extension appointments, you can expect to invest between $800 and $1500 per row. The cost of hair extensions can vary based on several factors:
Natural Hair Density: The density of your natural hair significantly influences the cost. If your hair is finer, you'll typically need fewer wefts, which can affect your overall investment.
Length of Extensions: The longer the hair extensions, the higher the price.
Desired Final Look: The number of extension rows needed depends on your current hair length and the look you wish to achieve. This ensures that your extensions blend seamlessly and meet your styling goals.
While you may have a general idea of the desired length, determining the number of wefts and rows needed can be more complex. Because extension work has so many variables that impact the cost, the most accurate way to get pricing specific to you and your goals is to complete our consultation form below.

The kindred extension way
IBE® home care guide
To maximize the life span of your investment in hair extensions, we recommend the following:
Use Professional Products
Sulfate/Paraben Free: Always use products that are sulfate and paraben-free.
Condition and Mask: Use a leave-in conditioner and treat with a mask once a week if necessary.
Heat Protectant: If applying heat, use a heat protectant to prevent drying or discoloration.
Daily Serum: Apply a daily oil/serum to keep your hair soft and manageable. Avoid tinted oils which can tarnish blonde extensions.
Nighttime Prep Routine
Avoid Wet Hair: Never go to sleep with wet hair, as it can cause extreme matting and tangling.
Top Knot or Braid: Place hair in a loose top knot or braid.
Silk Pillowcase: Use a silk pillowcase to keep hair manageable and frizz-free.
Swimming/Beach Hair Prep
Rinse and Condition: Rinse hair first with tap water and then liberally apply a leave-in conditioner. Do not dry your hair.
Secure Hair: Put hair in a ponytail and tightly braid or fasten in a bubble-style.
Shampoo After Swimming: Be sure to shampoo your hair after swimming to remove any chlorine or salt residue.
Blondes Beware: Avoid sunscreens containing certain chemicals that can discolor blonde hair extensions.
Post-Activity Care
Dry Immediately: After activities in humid conditions or when sweating, such as gym sessions, steam rooms, and saunas, ensure the extensions are dried immediately, especially focusing on the weft line to avoid moisture retention and swelling.
Daily Brushing
Brush Regularly: Brush hair thoroughly multiple times a day.
Apply Pressure: Use your free hand to keep pressure on the base of your row to eliminate tension and pulling while brushing.
Separate Rows: Ensure to separate your rows and brush in between each one.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your extensions looking their best and extend their lifespan.
